January 4, 2008, Newsletter Issue #137: Post Partum Period - Lochia
Tip of the Week
Delivery of your baby and the placenta will leave the inside of the uterus raw, like a grazed shin. Contractions of the uterus are like applying pressure to a scrape or cut, and are beneficial. The healing of this area takes time - about 6 weeks. During this time, you will notice the changes as the lochia (period-like flow) changes from mostly blood to blood tinged to clear yellowish mucus.
